Whalecome to some new followers! I'm a writer presently polishing a novel with an editor for an interested agent and working on the second one at the same time. My genre is character-based fantasy (i.e. no politics or scheming houses) with some adventure and laughs thrown in. Happy to have you!

Hiya. After watching the online world melt down over the recent polls it confirms why media devote so much coverage to them. They WANT us to melt down. If they wanted to write that Biden was cruising to a 400 EC win they would absolutely find evidence for it. But then people would tune out.

Every time Biden gets some good news, ON CUE media drops a poll saying he's losing.
This is a calculated strategy to drag the horse race narrative out to the night before the election. Gotta drive those clicks and keep people sharing on the socials.

Mother’s Day is the perfect day to remind everyone that woman does not emerge from man’s ribs. Not ever. It is he who emerges from *her* womb.
One of the greatest lies of Christian patriarchy is framing the father as the life giver.

I think about all the young people who grow up dreaming of public service, of being able to give back to their country, and have to watch complete effing morons like this blunder into office because voters can't be arsed to demand better.

Taking the morning off work to do some #writingfantasy . So close to finishing the final edit on this book before it goes back to the agent... and then we cross our fingers and get back to working on book two.

The left will say he's fair game now, and to an extent that is true (especially when he starts regurgitating his dad's bile) but you know the right will rebut any criticism with "hE's a cHiLd!!!" and media will bothsides about how the left is so cruel to kids.

Things I learned today:
John Lennon does an impression of Cookie Monster in the middle of his song "Hold On" from his 1970 solo debut album Plastic Ono Band.

Just want to clarify in case anyone wasn't sure that the Kendrick Lamar song "Meet the Grahams" is not about me.

"Pay me to destroy the world."
That's the pitch?
May all these people rot in the roasting hell they are determined to create for the rest of us.

Expect #CdnMediaFailed to flood the net with "Desperate Liberals Play Abortion Card" op-eds. But the fact is this was an unforced error by cocky Conservatives. They are absolutely in favour of uterus-control legislation. And with Poilievre beaking off about slicing and dicing the Charter of...

Front-runner for Canada's dumbest MP Arnold Viersen introduced a petition defending the rights of the "preborn," a thing that does not exist, in an attempt to introduce uterus-control legislation in the House of Commons.
Vote for Poilievre because gas is expensive and this is what comes with.

On Phantom Menace nostalgia:
Objectively it's a curate's egg. Some parts are very good (score, lightsaber duels) but it does not cohere. Lucas needed someone to say no here and there. But it's hard to divorce the movie from Gen X's experience of it in 1999 as the first new Star Wars in 16 years.

In Canada this week, we recognize Mental Health Week. This year, the theme is #CompassionConnects

Worth remembering in Canada where we have mandatory retirement at 75 for our S.C. justices and that the PM can just pick who he wants with no vetting, if we really want Pierre "Notwithstanding Clause" Poilievre picking them. Ford has already started politicizing the judiciary in Ontario.

Wordsmiths - would anyone be interested if I spouted a prompt under #Dribble ? Flash fiction in 50 words or less (not going to count - it fits the 300 character.) until we know if #Spoutories is coming back? #Writing #Writers . I don’t want to use #Spoutories if our organizer comes back.

Celebrated #MayThe4thBeWithYou with a rewatch of The Force Awakens and reminding myself much I enjoyed first seeing it nine years ago. Mainly because it was fun - F-U-N - in a way the prequels hadn't been. Even Harrison Ford seemed like he was enjoying himself.
